- VOLUME XVI MARCH 13, 1953, OGDEN, UTAH Number 10 ladget Fate of Three Weber College Bills Now Known As Legislature Quit Thursday When Signpost appears Friday, the fate of three Weber College bills at the hands of Utah legislators will have been known since Thursday night. The 1953 Utah legislature adjourned at that time. Earlier, Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon, president, expressed optimism over the probable fate of the $700,-000 bill to finance improvements at the new campus and construct a new vocational and general purpose building there. . He took the same view of a bill to authorize sale of the west half of the old campus and use proceeds to develop the new one. Gov. J. Bracken Lee, he said, was thought to favor these two proposals and would not veto them. No hope was held, however, for the four-year proposal. The governor has long made known his stand there and is said to desire a survey of higher education in the state before taking any such step as authorizing an additional two years at Weber. Engineers Make Arrangements For 'Frisco Trip Final arrangements were discussed at the weekly meeting of the Engineer's Club Wednesday, and are now being completed for the annual Spring Field Trip of the club. The trip this spring, scheduled for March 18-24, will be made to San Francisco, California. As in the past, the industrial concerns prominent in the area will be visited and toured under the guidance of the plants' professional engineers. Points of scenic interest also are to be visited, and a holiday spirit prevails as the theaters and famed restaurants are visited in the evenings. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has arranged the trip this year to include visits to the Ford assembly plant, Standard Oil refinery, Shell development research laboratory, and the Friden Calculator plant, on Friday, March 20. Arrangements are now being made to visit the cyclotron on the University of California campus and tour of the College of Engineering and its facilities at the university.Saturday afternoon and Sunday are to be left open for the students to visit scenic points and possibly the underground garage at Union Square Monday, March 23 Beth-: tn sh th entire iectuess lehem Steel and Goodyear Rubber T , , , Co. will be visited, and a tour! n was reported that there are along the waterfront taken.

Dr. Johnson views the student with great faith provided right techniques are used in his education, and favors methods in which the students have a considerable part in achievingself-development. Dr. Henry Aldous Dixon, who , pmnloved Dr. Johnson in the nre.

Schedule Weber College is offering a golf class in the spring quarter on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. at the El Monte Municipal golf course. Plans for an outstanding biennium in education on the new campus were under fresh consideration Thursday after the college budget became law early this week. Persons about the campus regarded it as a major accomplishment that Weber had been successful in receiving vital funds from the state legislature, along with other state educational institutions, despite a state economy program that at first seemed to threaten strangulation of the colleges and universities. The Weber budget bill passed the House and Senate as part of the general appropriation bill and gave the local college SI. 163, 280. It was approved by Governor J. Bracken Lee Monday after a com. promise was reached with Republican leaders in the legislature. The compromise was a bill which provides that surpluses of state institutions at the end of the biennium be returned to the general fund. The amount given Weber is $30,000 less than original sum asked for. However, Dr. Dixon felt that certain economies expected to result from the move to the new campus might make up the difference. These economies will be effected in part by the passage of two other bills permitting almost a complete transfer to the Mt. Ogden campus. These were expected to pass. College administrators in general seemed please with the outcome and felt that the cut can be made up by not having to maintain the Central building, annexes and Vocational building. Another bill authorizes a $700,00 appropriation for a new vocational building and improvements on the new campus, as funds are available Weber college was placed second in priority. First in priority was the Branch Agricultural College, but Weber was ahead of other state institutions of higher learning in this omnibus bill. If the bill passed the Senate, as it did the House, and was approved by the Governor, the vocational de partment will move to the new campus by second quarter of next year. Sophs Win Cash, Extempe Cup Awards in Barker Winners of both the class traveling trophy and the $10 individual award for best speaker in the James L. Barker extemporaneous speaking contest turned out to be sophomores. Kay Jon Mildon turned on a high powered emotional delivery to catch fancy of judges and edge her team mate, Reed Wahlquist, whose smooth conversational style and dependable logic t!so won support.Freshman representatives were Mary Moore and William Kay Daines, who had outspoken the freshman class to gain the honor of competing. Milton Mecham, class instructor, will be assisted by Gene Schneiter. All class members will receive reduction in green fees, reported Mr. Mecham. A good enrollment in this class is expected because there is a lot of interest in golf. There have already been many students who have expressed a desire to take this class.
